Columnist Natalie Wolchover checks in with particle physicists more than a decade after the field entered a profound crisis.
This is what the creation of a Higgs Boson looks like to the Large Hadron Collider. (Credit: CERN) The Higgs boson is, if ...
Jason Bono was one of the researchers behind a major scientific moment — when tiny particles unexpectedly unraveled one of the most important and successful theories in physics. Bono, who earned his ...
An old puzzle in particle physics has been solved: How can quantum field theories be best formulated on a lattice to ...
The hypothetical faster-than-light particle known as the tachyon may marry with the special theory of relativity, according to a team of physicists, making its existence more plausible. Tachyons are a ...
Physicists have spent decades treating mass as something the universe simply hands to particles, a property encoded in equations rather than explained from first principles. A new proposal argues that ...
Scientific Organizers: Clay Córdova (Chicago), David Poland (Yale), Sasha Zhiboedov (CERN) The program will consist of a pedagogical series of lectures given over a four-week period, three or four ...
Quantum mechanics is perhaps the most unintuitive theory ever devised. And yet it’s also the most successful, in terms of sheer predictive power. Simply by following the math of quantum mechanics, ...
